Private cultural heritage tours in the UAE
A collection for travellers drawn to the UAE's heritage rather than its skyline: the marble courtyards of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the presidential halls of Qasr Al Watan along Abu Dhabi's Corniche, the galleries of the Louvre on Saadiyat Island, a walk through Old Dubai's Al Fahidi quarter with an abra crossing on the Creek, and a day among Sharjah's museums, each one arranged for your group alone with a private guide.
Tours in this collection
What ties these cultural tours together?
Each one focuses on a landmark of faith, governance or heritage, such as the Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan or the Louvre Abu Dhabi, rather than modern skylines, with a private guide who can go deep into the history and etiquette on site.
Do these tours suit a first visit to the UAE?
Yes, they work well alongside a beach or desert day, giving you the cultural side of the country such as Old Dubai's souks or Sharjah's museums without missing the coast.
Is there a dress code for these cultural sites?
Modest dress is expected at the Grand Mosque and appreciated at Qasr Al Watan, and your private guide will brief you on what to bring before the day begins.
